Hashgraph, an enterprise software firm powering digital markets, has made three major strategic announcements at HederaCon, covering a new cross-ledger protocol, the general availability of a private network product, and a strategic investment in a digital asset solutions provider.
The firm introduced CLPR (pronounced “clipper”), a cross-ledger protocol currently in development that is designed to allow tokens, data, and messages to move across blockchain networks without the use of bridges, pooled liquidity, or intermediary validator networks. Security is maintained through cryptographic state proofs and threshold signature schemes. The protocol is currently in closed beta, with Hashgraph inviting market participants to apply for its Early Adopter Programme.
Alongside CLPR, Hashgraph confirmed the general availability of HashSphere, a private, permissioned network built on Hedera technology. Finally, the company announced a strategic investment in ioBuilders, a Madrid-based FinTech specialising in digital asset solutions, whose flagship tokenisation platform, Asseto, supports multi-chain issuance and management of digital assets. As part of the arrangement, HashSphere will be integrated into Asseto and made available through Hashgraph’s sales and service teams from June 2026.
Hashgraph develops enterprise software solutions for financial services, leveraging hashgraph technology and supporting the Hedera public network. Its offering spans cross-ledger interoperability, private network infrastructure, and tokenisation platforms, with the aim of enabling institutions to issue, trade, and manage assets across systems.
Hedera co-founder Dr. Leemon Baird said, “CLPR represents a fundamental shift in how networks interact. Just like internet protocols enabled global communication, CLPR creates a shared foundation for moving tokens and data seamlessly across networks. By eliminating the need for bridges, it offers a more secure and trusted model.”
Hashgraph CEO Eric Piscini said, “Financial institutions should not have to choose between regulatory compliance and access to new sources of liquidity. HashSphere gives them both. From underpinning initiatives like The Reserve Bank of Australia’s Project Acacia to new use cases in insurance, HashSphere is a secure foundation for institutions to build and grow with confidence in regulated markets.”
